While the right to privacy may have been the key to securing abortion rights in Roe v. Wade, some advocates of the controversial procedure today want to walk around with a sign, t-shirt to be exact, broadcasting their reproductive decisions.
In 2004, abortion advocate and author Jennifer Baumgardner launched the “I Had an Abortion” project to encourage women and men to “come out” about their procedures. The campaign featured shirts that read “I Had an Abortion,” a book, photo exhibit, and documentary film featuring 10 women – including feminist Gloria Steinem – describe their abortion experiences spanning seven decades.
In preparation of an upcoming panel discussion and book signing featuring Baumgardner at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, controversy ensued when “I Had an Abortion” shirts began to pop up around campus. WWAY reports that the panel was held Monday by the Women’s Studies Department and LGBTQIA Resource Office, where the controversial shirts were sold for $15 each at the event.

Abortion has long term psychological effects.
It would be interesting how many of the t shirt wearing “I had an abortion” wearers have psychological or relationship problems.....of course it would not occur to them the root cause could very well be their decision to kill an unborn child...
My guess is that LGBTQIA stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (or Transexual?) Queer Intersex (?) Alternative (?).
Maybe they should throw in a ‘K’ at the end for “Kitchen sink”.
Oh. Wait. It wasn't an acronym.
I thought queer too, but perhaps it is “questioning” which is a big phrase nowadays. I suppose so then you can act like a queer without being one!? And the IA might be In America.
My BIG question is, what do they call the group where the straight men can be found!?

How about this tee shirt:
I’VE HAD 15 ABORTIONS — PAID FOR BY YOU.
I don’t care what they do, they’re never going to succeed in making abortion the “admirable” or “heroic” choice they seem to want to portray it as. People instinctively know that murdering your own offspring is not praiseworthy. I don’t see how these sorts of campaigns can do anything but backfire.
Talk about shameless. Might as well say “I sleep around.” Nice advertising. Run for your lives, guys. Could be YOUR baby next.

You just beat me to it! I LOVE it when libs tie their own ropes. Just stand back and let them hang themselves!

Really know what?
Every time I see that LGBT... thang, there are new letters. I have ceased beung curious about their meaning.
They just want to make everyone feel included...except the heteros!
I am for this. I would like to know who these woman are before risking the life of my unborn child.
I think they are in serious denial about that, though on some level they know.
The response to this could be very harsh. T-shirts:
You Had An Abortion?
You Killed Your Baby.
You Had An Abortion?
I Will Pray For Your Child.
You Had An Abortion?
Did The Child’s Father Know?
You Had An Abortion?
Human Life Means That
Little To You?
You Had An Abortion?
How Old Would Your Child
Have Been?
